movies that namecheck another movie

I was watching ALIEN AUTOPSY (2006) and there's a scene where one of the two main characters tries to get someone to buy a pirated dvd copy of TIMECOP (1994)

any other examples of this phenomenon?

(I mean the title of the movie has to be said out loud... I'm not talking about movies where you can see a poster for another movie, or where another movie happens to be playing on a tv screen, etc)

There's a South African film where the producer shows the actors in that film watching a film that the producer directed a decade previously 😄🐢

In The Lost Boys: The Tribe (2008) the Mom character wants to have a movie night, she rented and is holding up the DVD of The Goonies (1985). I believe she also says the title out loud.

That John Cusack movie Must Love Dogs. You know that film where he makes old time canoes for a living. I mean seriously. Who does that? I don't even think someone like Bill Gate's son could get away with that. Hey babe come over to my lovely pad. Oh what do you do for a living? Oh I make these wonderful old time canoes. Yeah it's a modest profession..

Yeah sure. In what universe. Well anyway. Oh yeah Must Love Dogs John Cusack keeps talking about Dr. Zhivago. I mean gets to the point where it is halfway annoying. Like the whole movie is a Dr. Zhivago cult or something. It's like seriously. You mean you want to live in Russia when that whole Bolshevik revolution was happening. There was obviously a dark side to that, it wasn't just all about some lovey dovey romance. Must Love Dogs — Dr. Zhivago. Umm..That's all I can think of. I will be on the look out for this though. Do I get money or points though if I can keep coming up with them? Does the movie Timeline ever reference a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court? Or are we just supposed to know that that is what the movie is supposed to be?

I was going to say Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles (1990) When Rafael or one of the Ninja Turtles is walking around you can see a Poster or a Movie Theatre Marquee banner for Critters. But you say that doesn't count. Ok. Well I always thought that part of the movie was humorous and I fantasize that it is like an easter egg or something for some future Ninja turtles movie where they have to fight the Critters.

yeah I think we did have a thread once dedicated to movies which feature posters of other movies...

we definitely had one for movies where you see someone watching another movie on a tv screen.

that kind of thing seems a bit more subtle and incidental though. whereas if they're actually saying the other movie's name out loud
then it's cleary a more intentional and direct reference (erm...or something?  )
